How it works
- Deliverables are made from Approvals deliveries. Open Deliverables and choose a delivery.
- Pick the specs the song is going to.
- Each file's loudness and true peak are measured (ITU-R BS.1770), its format is checked, and the versions each spec needs are listed and named.
- Fix anything flagged, then download the deliverables sheet to send.
The specs
- Streaming
- True peak no higher than -1 dBTP, format checked, loudness reported.
- Apple Digital Masters
- 24-bit, an approved sample rate (44.1 to 192 kHz), true peak.
- Sync and library
- Main, instrumental and TV mix present (a cappella and vocal up and down optional), 24-bit at 48 kHz, true peak.
- Broadcast (EBU R128)
- -23 LUFS plus or minus 0.5, true peak, 24-bit at 48 kHz.
- Vinyl pre-master
- 24-bit, sample rate, and a warning if it's mastered too loud to cut well.
Specs change, and every distributor, library and broadcaster has the final say: check theirs before you deliver.
